MODEL 0 THE ATTLE OF WATER: 2: We were to-day favoured with a private view of Mr. Siborn's Model of the Battle of Waterloo, which will be shortly opened for public exhibition at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. It is one of the most interesting, as we believe it to be in its details one of the most faithful, of this species of exhibition, which has been for some time presented to the British public. The Mo del is on a scale of ninefeet to the mile, and contains the ex traordinary and most incredible number of 190,000 Liliputian figures on foot and horseback, most accurately and beautifully finished —the costume, uniform, arms,: &c., of each figure, being perfectly true to the life. The time chosen is a quarter past seven, on the evening of fthe 18th of June, when Napoleon made his last g..eat struggle ort ictory. T he Imperial Guard, after the repulse of the colum n , is seen advancing in great force to the crest of the hill , immediately in front of the Duke of Wellington's position, where it is received by the British Guards, who upon the Duke's orders " Up Guards, and at them f" have started suddenly from their recumbent position, and are pouring a steady and destructive fire into the front and left flank of the French Imperial Guard. It would be impossible, 1 n a bri e f notice like the present, to inter into the netails of this magnificent picture, which must be visited to be prope r l y bited, appreciated. The effect of the firing from the artillery infautry, skirmishers,very beautifully exhi an'd the chateau and enclOsures of Hougomont, the scen e of such terrific slaughter, with several of the outhouses ea fire, has a very striking and picturesque effect. The ap pearance of the ground which was the immediate scene of the great struggle—the trampled corn fields, and the hundreds of dead and wounded strewed around, are all presented to the !ye with extraordinary accuracy. This model will do more to 'llustrate the position of the opposing forces on the memorable of June, than all the pictures and descriptions in the disti nguished It h as , we un d erstand, b een a l rea d y v i s i te d b y severa l o ffi cers attac h ed to the staff of the Duke o • lb ualified e gton, who have exp resse d th e i r unroval a Its e accuracy. q app 'ITY REGISTRATION.

STATE OF TRADE.—The demand for yarn con tinues extremely limited, and prices rather receding.

The objects of this society are the formation of an extensive bo tanic garden, and of a library, museum, and conservatories, so that medical and scientific, at well as merely ornamental botany, will repectively receive the attention commensurate with their importance. Public exhibitions and lectures will also be given periodically durii , g the season.

SHEFFIELD.-1111 Saiurday 'nothing last, Sir Robert Sheffield was out with a friend, shooting, near Flixbotough Stather, Lincolnshire. The Hon. Baronet car ried a double-barreled gun, both triggers of which he had pulled, and was not aware of the fact that one of the charges had hung fire until, as he was in the act of ramming down again, the contents of the undischarged barrel exploded, and blow off the fingers of his right hand. The hand has since been atnpetated. Sir Robert is doing well, and in excellent spirits.—Hull Observer. Yesterday a pauper named Margaret Smith was buried out of Shoreditch workhouse, after having been an inmate there above twenty years. She was in her 103 d vear, and till within the last few months was in possession of all her rkculties. She bad outlived all her relations. Previous to to American war she, with her first husband, possessed con lerab!e property in the United States. After the death of her husband she placed her affairs in the hands of an agent, who defrauded her of her property and ran away. She mar ried again, but her second husband dying, she became reduced, and was forced to seek an asylum in the workhouse. For some years past, lze.sides the parish allowance, several charitaJle ladies have afforded her relief. Yesterday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, as a man named William Allen, and others were employed in clewing a ship, from the tier of vessels lying opposite Hors !eydown-stairs, the ship's boat-hook slipped into the water by accident, and on pulling it up they found some weight attached to it, which, on arriving to the surface of the water, they dis cr,vered to be a human body, in the usual garb of a sailor. He had a bruise over one of his eyes, and his nose was slightly grazed. The body did not appear to have been in the water above twelve hours. He was conveyed on shore, and placed in the vaults of St. lain's Church. An inquest sat yesterday afte, noon, but there being nothing to lead to his identity, el bnw he came into the water, the inquiry was adjourned until Monds3' next.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOI3ER 4, 1838 MONEY AND CITY NEWS (Fr.G:l l iiE UORNINO FAFLIIS OF "/ AIIS TIM E S.—Business continues very quiet in the Funds, but the money price of Consols improved. Commercial affairs remained without any particular new feature. Cotton yarns and cloths were rather more inquired for, and prices were said to be gradually recovering from the late depression. The new crop of cotton was expected to be at market in another fortnight. A meeting of the Mexican and South American Associa tion it appears was held yesterday, to take into consideration a communication from Liverpool, to the effect that the mer chants there interested entertained an intention to send a de putation to London, for the purpose of making certain repre sentations to the Foreign-office respecting the French block ades of Buenos Ayres and Mexico, and to request some ex. planations as to the views or the probability of an interference on this part of the Government. In such a case, it was de sired to know if the Association here would be disposed to join and co-operate with them, which of course was agreed to, although an (pinion was expressed that any steps would be unavailing in the official quarter referred to. CHRONICLE.—Spanish Stock has again improved, and various rumours were current with a view of account ing for it, and amongst others it was stated that M. Thiers was about to enter the French Cabinet, while by some it was asserted that negotiations were going on between Don Carlos and Lord John Hay. The exportation of the precious metals from the port of London, for the week ending Saturday last, the 29th Septum ber, consisted, according to the offieial returns, of 59,377, ounces of silver, of which 40,200 ounces were sent to the West Indies, 14.000 to Rotterdam, and 5,177 ounces to Mogadore. The difficulty of obtaining money has been a good deal felt in the city for the last few days by those who regu larly require it in large sums in some instances four per cent. having been paid for short loans, upon the deposit of first-rate English stock, and five per cent. for the dis count of the bills of the best of the northern i)int-stock banks. This sudden scarcity of_ money, after the abundance • which has been prevailing for so long a time, has been attri buted to the payment of various duties and remittances re quired in the trade for foreign corn; but this is very obviously an insufficient reason for the change since the duties hitherto paid have amounted to a very tri v i a l aggregate sum, and the small remaining stocks in the Baltic ports are understood to have been long since paid far on English account; nor have the foreign exchanges been affected in the slightest degree by the recent opening of the ports. The probability, therefore, is, that the scarcity of money is merely temporary, produced by the accumulations of the revenue, which always effect the Money Market previous to the payment of the quarterly dividends ; and as these payments for the October dividends are about to commence, there is very little doubt that money will again be abundant in the course of a few days, and that the rates of discount will again in consequence decline. This is the more probable as, in addition to the payment for the October dividends, there have recently been very heavy arrivals of bullion from Mexico, Chili, and Brazil, and as the greater part of the importations of the precious metals invariably find their way to the Bank of England, the currency will in the present instance be increased in the ratio at which these arrivals may be taken to the Bank. The whole stack of bullion is now so great at the Bank, and the pap:r circulation being considerably under the proportion to which it is usually extended, that no•permanent scarcity of money is in reality to be apprehended for some time to come, however much the demand may be increased, either by the revival of speculation or the increase of the manufacturing and general foreign trade. This afternoon, indeed, money was again much more easily obtained, but the rate was Never under four per cent. during the day. Some rather large loans were procured from the 'link of England on the deposit of bills, which, of course, !ended to improve the money market. POST.—No amigo of the slightest importance has taken ace in the position of any of the Foreign Securities. There a rumour that negociations have been renewed in Paris for a loan to the Christine Government of Spain, but in the present desperate state of that amiable and virtuous lady's affairs, the effort will doubtless follow the fate of its predecessors. We have Canton Registers and Price Currents a few days later than the previotis arrivals, but they do not add a syllable of ne,ws of public interest. The Government of the celestial empire was persevering in its exertions to suppress the contra band trade in opium, but apparently without the slighter chance of final success . N o ot h er i n f erence at l east CA D be drawn from th e p u bli c l y reported fact that the exports f ro m our Indian dep en d enc i es go on much at the same rate as usua l. There is a repetition of the previous statement that the new rick crop has been abundant, and superior in quality compared with the least. season. We have had no later arrivals from any other part of the world. HERA Lll—Advices have been received from Canton to the 18th of April. From the Canton Register, it appears that the Hong merchants, on the 4th of April last, addressed a species of circular to the creditors of the Hing-tae Hong, wherein they state that they bad before resolved to pay the foreign debts of the Hing-tae Hong, in nine years, by instal ments ; but that to this arrangement the British and other merchants had not acceded. The Hong merchants than time for other arrangements, in consequence of their public charges amounting to 300,000 taels for tribute, &c. ; and tlp,t they had to pay up the debt of Fatqua's Hong, amounting to 300,000 taels; those of the Iling-tae Hong to the amount of 100,000 tads ; and the arrears of Kingqua's Hong to the amount of 300 000 taels. In consequence they prayed in this memorial that the British and other merchants would assent to the pe,i3d of nine years, that they might put forth their en ergies to sustain the payments, and discharge the claim within the allotted period. In conseouence of these cir cumstances, the firm of Dent and CO., Jardine and Co., and Turner and Co., addressed the Governor of Canton, with 'a view that he should compel the Hongs to come to a speedier settlement, wherein they showed that the foreign merchants 113 d pail within four years the sum of 1.500,000 dollars to the Hong-yune, or indemnity fund, without claiming one dollar, whilst the Hing-tae Hong retained up wards of 2,000,000 of dollars of foreign property, yet the Cohong proposed to pay the fling- tae debt in the course of nine years. The r:ply of the Viceroy of Canton to the addresses of the merchants on this subject was in complete keeping with true Chinese policy, wherein he states that the Hongs had behaved with much liberality, rebuked the foreign ►merchants for their bet king ; at the same time warning them not to continue the discussion under pain of most celestial denunciations. There had not been much alteration in the commerce at either Lintin or Canton. Cottons have advanced, and long cloths were inquired after. Opiu'i at \Vhampoa bad been in con. siderable demand. Good M.lwas were readily purchased at 460 dollars per chest ; New Patna were 400 a 410 dollars. In other respects there was no alteration in the commercial quotations of any moment. The amount of teas exported to Great Britain from the Ist of July, 1837, to the 17th of April, 1838, was 31,218,133 lbs. ; and to the United Slates during tl-e same period 137,254 chests. Bills of the United States Bank on London. at 180 days' sight, were negotiated to a considerable amount at 4s. 4d. per dollar. PARACHUTE DESCENT AT CHEL- TENHAM. Yesterday, Mr. Hampton, a gentleman who has already ac quired some celebrity in aaronautics, accomplished the desperate feat of a parachute descent, to the great wonder and no small delight of the residents and visitors of Chelten ham. About a fortnight back Mr. Hampton ascended from the Montpelier Gardens, in his " Albion" balloon, and after a pleasant voyage, affected a safe descent at Twigworth, a villTe about two miles north of Gloucester. He had on that occasion pledged himself to descend in a parachute on Garnerin's principle, some time in the month of October, but the general impression was, that he had not, in reality, any such intention ; and eventually Wednesday, the 3d of October, was fixed upon for making the daring experiment. Several scientific gentlemen of the town endeavoured to dissuade Mr. Hampton from his pr(ject--the local Press joined in the re monstrance, but Mr. Hampton persisted in his intentions, de claring that unless the machine itself gave way—a result which he could by no means anticipate—the descent was in every respect as practicable as by the balloon. Notwith standing this, Mr. Spinney, Chairman of the Cheltenham Gas Worl,s, with whom Mr. Hampton had entered into an ar rangement for the inflation, appeared before the Bench of Magistrates on Monday, in order to have their advice upon the matter. The Bench stated, in reply, that they viewed tre project with much suspicion, and regretted that Mr. Hampton should persist in making an experiment which might in all probability be attended w lib the loss of his own life, but they doubted whether they had authority to prevent it. Capt?in St. Clair, one of the Magistrates, observed, that Mr. Spin ney, by refusing to supply the gas, could do so effectually, or the proprietors of the Gardens might refuse Mr. Hampt on ' s permission to ascend from their grounds. Mr. Spinney re tired, and having communicated the decision of the Bench to Mr. Hampton and the lessees of the Gardens, a circular was then issued from the Gardens, stating, that in deference to the opinion of the Magistrates, partial descents within the Gar dens only would be permitted. The process of inflation commenced early in the morning, and was not finished till 5 o'clock, when the parachute was brought into the enclosure from the Montpelier Pump-rooms, where it had been exhibited the two previous days. Under the superintendence of Mr. Hampton, it was speedily a tt a ched to the b a ll oon b y a s li p -li ne. T he car wh i c h l a y on the ground was not even uncovercd—the valve was not closed— no grappling irons were attached—andfrOm those circum stances the initiated few began to surmise that the aeronaut was intent on something more than a partial descent. A strong rope, some e i g h ty or a hundred feet long, was made fast to the parachut e , and Mr. Hampton h av i ng taken his seat, cause the stay-lin es to b e gradually relaxed. After try i ng the ascending power of the machine, which was then about thirty fe:.t above the earth, he gave a cheer, and suddenly cutting the ropes, shot suddenly upwards, to the great surprise of all and to the const ernat i on of most of the spectators. The balloon aid its append ages floated gracefully and steadily in the direc tion of Gloucest er , an d when up to the altitude which the in trepid aeronaut or i g i nally contemplated-5,000 feet from the earth—and distinctly v i s ib le for miles round, he detached the parachute from th e b a ll oo n , and gradually descended, appa rently not more than a h undred yards, when a volume of flame, bright but transient, announced the fact of his having the gas.

O'CONNELL. TO HIS sTrruLNTs. Darrynane Abbey, Sept. 29, 1838. Hereditary bondsmen, know you mot Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow". FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,—The affectionate yet manly con fidence which you, my beloved constituents, are pleased to re pose in me, the readiness with which you have given me credit for intending and doing the best for our common country, which existing circumstances render possible, are to me sources of pride and pleasure, and would be the greatest consolation under the difficulties that surround us, if I wanted any other satisfaction or comfort than the cheering excitement that arises from the consciousness that we have arrived within one stage—and that a short one—of the spirit-stirring, soul. exalting agitation for REPEAL. Yes, my friends—the attempt to be made by the Precursor Society for full justice to Ireland, foeurg theht tor r pre, es te e r e s e t d i ee and is Of our the h e NATIONALonI yh t i thing can LEGISLATURE. precede,our demand The arrangements which you are making between this and November, for the perfect organization of the Precursor So ciety—arrangements ethe roc ie s_ which dem l o n k s n t o r a w t e a t r e e m a e r already being certainty that made t in t we shall be able to bring our d eman d s b e f ore t h e B r i t i s h several people, and British Parliame n t, i n a s h ape o f so muc h we i ght and authority as will leave them no ki n d o f excuse or pallia lait tion for refusing, or postponing, to do us justice. The time is come when we must—once for all—experimen tally KNOW whether the Union is to be made real by a perfect identification of the Irish and British franchises, and liberties, or the duty be.cast upon us of requiring, in the voice of seven millions, the repeal of that obnoxious and degrading statute. Hurra! then, for a powerful, a combined, and a last expe riment. It fills my heart with joy to say these things to you, but it is not in the mere gratification of any pleasure, however exalted or refined, that I write to you. Ido it from a sense of duty, and to bring your attention to some particular topics. The first of these is Corporate Reform ; we have repeated, till we are disgusted even by the repetition, the shameful insult offered to us by the Peel-Wellington party, signified by th e familiar phras e —" E ng l an d h as Corporate - Reform, Scotland has Corporate Reform; Ireland is refused Corporate Reform." Now, I wish to call your attention to the extent to which this evil afflicts you, my constituents. Firstly —The Corporation of Dublin consists of not more than one per cent. of the entire population. It is a miserable minority, and a'l the rest of the population are excluded ; not only the Catholics, but the Liberal Protestants, without almost a single exception. Secondly—The Catholics have been, in point of law, ad missable to be freemen of Dublin, since the year 1792. Forty six years have since elapsed, but not one single Catholic has been since admitted to the freedom. There is a great deal of Protestant bigotry in the world, but I believe a more perse. veiing instance of Pro•estant exclusiveness does not disgrace any portion of the civilized globe. Thirdly —This exclusive and bigoted Corporation, con temptible in point of number, anti still more contemptible in point of individual character and property, has the con trout over funds of great magnitude and value, which it of course monopolizes among its own members, but which, it applied as they ought to be (and would be by a reformed Cor poration) would diminish, to a considerable extent, the /taxa tion of the city. Let me here observe that there are certainly some persons of character and fortune in the Corporation. They are, however, but few. I do not speak disparagingly of these few, hut I do of the great and overwhelming majority of the Corporation. Fourthly —The consequence of the iniquitous waste of the Corporate property, for individual purposes, is that the city of Dublin is the most heavily taxed, and burthened with rates and cesses, of any in the British empire —beyond any compa rison so. Fifthly—Nothing can be more lamentable than the impediment which this Corporation creates to the administration of justice. The Lord Mayor's Court, the Court of Conscience, and the office of Sub.t 4 heriff have . beea for years farmed out to the highest bidder; even the Sheriffs have been long com pelled to give a partizan pledge as the Shibboleth of office. Sixthly—These Sheriffs have the 'nomination of the Grand and Petit Jurors, and 'he Gi and Jurors inflict a taxation, which has gradually risen within the last few years from what I re member it, viz., from about 1-t,OOOl. a year, to upwards of 36,0001. per annum; , whilst in the meantime, the value of house property has diminished more than 501. per cent. Seventrily—These Sheriffs have also the nomination of the Jurors who try all the issues, criminal as well as civil, in the Queen's Bench and other superior Courts or justice. Eighthly—lt is scarcely necessary to add, that the.appoint ments to various lucrative Offices, important to the well-being of the citizens, are vested in the limited and bigoted corpora tions, and have been given to those who most diStinguish themselves in extravagant bigotry, may serve to stimu late the worse passions among the holders, and the still larger class of expectants. All these evils, and many more, exist in our unreformed Corporation. It foments bigotry ; it creates, encourages, and continues dissension and rancour among the citizens ; it overlays the inhabitants with enormous taxation ; it tends directly to pollute the source of justice, and is in fact a nuisance of the most comprehensive magnitude. Tne Peel-Wellington party offered us but one alternative, to continue this nuisance or to create a worse. There is still one greater crime committed by this Corpo ratio—ea fraud deliberately concocted and carried into effect by the deliberate aid of grave and judicial personages —IT IS THE FABRICATION OF FICTITIOUS VOTES. Let us put once more the facts before the public. Firstly—No person can compel the Corporation of Dub lin to make him a freeman, no matter what his claim or title may be. He may be the eldest son of a freeman or be mar ried to a freeman's daughter, or have served a regular ap prenticeshipall the three, yet he has no l ecral remedy or legal means to a freeman, or include in his own person admit him to to compel matter what the facts be, which might give Secondly—No either branch of the Common Council, a right to the freedom, the Sheriffs, and Commons may t ile Corporation to his freedom. the Board of A.dermen, or of claim the Commons could reject it, and vice ac ceded to the the the Boardof if the Commons allowed claim Al versa, t it. Thus the concurrence of both in a reject the claim. So that even if the Board Aldermen dermen could reject is essentially necessary to make a man free of thof Dublin. the Board of Aldermen nor the commons Thirdly—Neither reason for rejecting the claim. Their own will need give any or caprice, or dislike regulate their conduct in end pleasure, ; ut appeal and without cnntroul that behalf video While the Ref orrußill was in the House of Fourthly—While voluntaryotpearactti Corporation I moved for a retie 0 of the person s who had ob tained Commons , or marriage of Dublin. I didthis • in the Corporation t h e Corpora,ion of Dublin admitted no which is now being commuted 1 and the very fraud ryas duly made by the Cot • poration to the ingly a return their freedom in right of birth, servitude and printed b . y order of o that House, dis tinctly s'Ati edont as of rig person tot he Fifthly—TueCorporation have always claimed and exer d power to admit to the freedom any person cised an unlimited hand, • • thus, upon one continuing the succession they pleased; by admitting such persoes of the Corporation,as they pleased House of Co e m g on the other band, rejecting whomsoever they to admit ; slid,tilohnast,, chose to reject. these circumstances there is not in • Sixthly—Under exist ence and integrity wh o ence a lawyer of intelligence g that t all the freemen in the cit w y ou f ld p not give it as his opinion,e• en—that is, freemen admitted o Dub at the dis cretion are honorary rem Corporation, without any legal right to compel cretion of :he . such thing as admission. There is no . a legal right in our the a legal remedy. Such being the facts law without a and such Corporation what has our corrupt . done? Why, they the law, introduced the rights the first time of birth, tervitude, have for and marriage into the certificates of admi ss i on to the freedom. They have, for example, given a certifi cate of freedom by who had ap prenticeship e in Dublin to a person served his was appren ticeship iii London 1 That appren ti ceshipi as served to an Englishman, who had never been Ireland,.. and possibly never hear,l of the Corporation of Dublin. They have given a certificate of freedom by marriage, to a person married to a woman whose father was equally ignorant of the Corporation of Dublin. They have given certificates of feedom by birth to many persons, whose fathers were never free of the Cor poration t Thus you, my friends, are aware that the fair con stituency of Dublin, the resident householders, are Ready swamped by this deluge of freemen with fistitiou3 titles, and who have not property to register as householders or free holders. There is, to be sure, one remedy, and that is, in case the popular interest were defeated at an election, there would be an appeal to an Election Committee of the House of Commons. But Garagantua's plan of deciding causes, by throwing out dice, was honest and respectable, compared to the chance of a Tory Committee of that House, It is true that the last Dublin Committee decided against ninety such votes, but instead of the Corporation being checked by this rebuke, they have gone on, and are going on, multiplying the fictitious and fraudulent voters, with the utmost indecency, as well as most palpable injustice. What is the remedy ? For my part, determined to leave no effort untried to stop this deluge of fraud. I applied to the Court of Queen's Bench for a writ of quo warranto, but that Court refused, upon a mere crotchet, or quibble, to allow the question to be put into a train for trial. The Court, as is usual upon such occasions, were unanimous, and having refused to allow the merits to be tried, our only remedy is from Par liament. To obtain, relief from Parliament I want two millions of Precursors. Let the people of Ireland support me. and WE SUCCEED—I believe they will support me ; Dublin, at least, is doing its duty well and honestly ; and I have no doubt, by November next, THE MOST POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL PUBLIC BODY THAT IRELAND EVER saw, will be found in the Precursor Society. q -he question of Corporate Reform alone ought to embody every man, woman, and child in Dublin in that Society. The second topic relates to the relief that Ireland requires on the subject of ecclesiastical re venues. These facts are im portant to be known and distinctly recollected. Firstly—That the liability to a tithe to the Parson has been totally t ransferred from the y occupying tenants to the landlords or the proprietors in possession. Secondly —That this transfer has taken place under two Acts of Parliament, the fi , st called " Lord Stanley's Act," and the other the Act of the last Session. Thirdly—That it appears by Parliamentary returns that prior to the last Session Stanley's Act had gone into operation, in about four years, to the eeeraious extent of something more than 'one-half of all the tithe compositions of Ireland, and must inevitably ii i a few years have gone into universal opera tion. It is probable that within three or four years more this transfer woul.l have taken place ; it must have done so in a very tew years more et all events- Fent thly--S-Th e effect or the Tithe Bill of the last Session was this, that it compelled the transfer at once. It gave no adaitionai title to the l'osons. There are more than kit) gets upon the statute hook encnreing. under the most tigorous penahics, including transportation and death, the payment of tithe, or tithe composition, to the Parsons. Fifthly—That the last Tithe Bill having done no more than limited the remedy of the Parsons to the landlords, and thus effectuated at once what Stanley's Act was doing gradually but rapidly, it had this striking advantage that whereas . Stanley's Act rend ere d th e l an dlo r ds Lable for the entire tith e compensation, save and except the few who, within a limited period, had bound themselves to pay, and were, therefore, en titled to a reduction of 151. per cent; yet, the late Act strikes off at once 251. per cent of the entire burden. Sixthly—Th e recent Act strikes off at one below, a quarter of all the tithe compensation in Ireland, that is, it extinguishes, not merely in name, but in reality, one-fourth of all the Parsons' tithe composition throughout Ireland, amounting to about ONa HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND POUNDS PER ANNUIL Seventhly—All the arrears due by the occupying tenants are remitted by the late Act ; unless in the cases in which some suit by civil bill, by action, or by proceedings in a Court of Equity, are in existence. This exception does not include suits in which the Parson has been defeated. It only in cludes EXISTING sun's. But it must be always recollected that it includes suits by civil bill, as well as actions by com mon law ; as also the more monstrous proceedings of suits •in equity. Eighthly—ln every case (if any such there be) in which the Parson chooses to remit the costs against the occupying tenant, he can go for bis arrears to the treasury, and thus totally exempt the occupying tenant. Ninthly—lf the occupying tenant think fit to pay the costs, and thus get rid of that claim, the Parson can re cover his arrears at the Treasury, and be must be a very harsh and cruel man indeed, if i n that case he does not resort to the Treasury. I know there are some such Parsons, but I hope not many. But if the Parson will refuse to take the costs, and choose to continue his proceedings already instituted against the tenant, there is no remedy. I have been thus diffuse as well (I hope) as distinct, be cause I have been written to from many places, making in quiries as to the operations of the Act, where suits have been commenced, but not actually proceeded upon. ln every such case the costs must be remitted by the Parson (which is not probable), or paid by the tenant in order to have the arrears remitted. I now proceed to some other points respecting the last Tithe Act. Tenthly—The Bill, as it left the House of Commons, con tained a very valuable clause, giving a power ..f appeal from all compositions that had been unjustly overcharged. Tiiia valuable clause, which would have included the case of Ruth.. cormac, was struck out in the House of Lords by Vesey Fitz gerald ; and the appeal was limited by him to cases of a sole commis,ion, under Lord Stanley's Act. This cruel proceed ing upon his part fully justified the impression I orieinell • Y formed of the man, as if it were by iastinct. I felt that he had an innate hostility to the people of Ireland, and all his subsequent conduct ha; proved it. Eleventhly—lt will be recollected that before the last Ses sion I had prop >sed a plan of total extinction of tithes, placing the Parsons upon the Cousolidated Fund, and compensaiiag that find for expense's now sustained by it, a; well out of the income of the Woods and Farms in Ireland as by county assessments, which were to diminish in proportion as the tran quillity of each county might render such assessments unne cessarr Twelfthly—l had an intimation from a very influential member of the Government, that the Ministerial Tithe Bill Of thft last Session would anopt, to a considerable extent, my plan of the extinction. This was the only intimation I re ceived upon the subject. Thirteenthly—l cannot say whether any other Irish Mem ber knew of the Tithe Bal intended to be proposed ; I don't believe there did. .ttßut for myself I say distinctly, that I knew nothing of the Bill, as it really existed, until it was placed on the table of the House. On the contrary, I had announced in the public newspapers that my plan of Tithe Extinction would be to a considerable extent adopted, justified as I was by the announcement made to me by a Cabinet Minister. Fourteenthly—No Irish Member accepted the Tithe Act of this Session as a final measure, or as a satisfactory measure. For my own part, I distinctly stated that I did not accept it as an instalment, cr as a measure likely to be satisfactory, far less final. On the contrary, I distinctly stated that the people of Ireland would not, and, in my decided opinion, ought not, to be satisfied with it, or to relax their efforts to get rid of all compulsory payments to a Church to which they did not belong. Foleanthly—l did state, and I repeat my conviction, that the Bid of last Session, instead of being an additional security to the Parsons, would increase the resistance to the payment of the tithes in the shape of rent charge; that it would bring into the field a new class of Whitebo‘ s, that is, of tithe resisters men in broad cloth and boots, instead of the small farmers in fiieze; men who would dislike exceed. ingly the payment of the rent charge, and would. not relish the mixing up of the rents with the blcod-stained tithe im post, and who would rue the day that they acquiesced, if they should acquiesce, in any such admixture. I have reason to believe, as I sincerely hope, that the resistance to the payment of a sinecure Church will be augmented, and not diminished, by the late Act of Parliament. A good deal of clamour has been raised upon the subject, and 1 have not been spared either by friends or foes. Heaven forbid I should lam one of those who think that public men cannot be too narrowly scrutinized, and I care little whether the scrutiny be in terms of courtesy or of virulent hostility. That is the affair of the assailant—it is not mine. I am not justifying myself, or vindicating any thing I hate done; the facts are giten nit as an excuse ; but as a mere statement; and if others differ from me, and abuse me, the only revenge I shall take is in future to be doubly active in endeavouring to render service to cur common country. That country has arrived at a crisis in which she re quires that every cause of dissension and division—at least as to what is past—. should be exploded, and that a multitudinous and continual exertion should be made to preserve her from her enemies and to sicure her liberties. It is true that I had two strong reasons for desiring to re move the pressure of the tithe war from the actual occupiers of the soil. The first was my ap; reh..usion, that as the Go vernment had been compelled by the House of Lords to give horse, foot, and police to aid the rebellion ruffians, the people might be driven to open resistance and to one of those drift less rebellions which bring destruction upon the population and strengthens the hands of every crawling creature con nected with power or Government. The recent proceedings in several of the Midland and Southern Counties amply justi fied my apprehension. The second reason is of a more personal nature. Multi. tudes of persons who were sued for tithes, or whose property was seised upon, or whose persons were incarcerated, wrote me the most moving and heart-rending letters, heart-rending because I could not give them any relief or advise any course that would extricate them from their difficulties. 1 was the power less butt of thousands upon thousands of afflicted com plainants. Every now and then a victim perished in gaol a tythe-martyr. It was a strife that made my heart bleed, and I was hot sorry to see the tithe-war shift its quarters from the poor and the lowly to those who can better bear the brunt of the battle, whilst the spirit of the ever-faithful people will sup port and back their wealthier co-operators, in order to put an end to the tithe-system for ever.—[We probably give the conclusion of this letter to morrow.l (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) TOCTOBER ,2. Tux CORPORATION. —Yesterday Alderman Hayte was sworn in Lord Mayor of Dublin, and Messrs. Grant and Taylor sheriffs. Thera were none of the usual political squibbing be tween the ReCorder and the Lord Lieutenant, to which this occasion hitherto gave rise. The inaguration dinner took place on the evening, and was a very splendid affair. Very little party display took place. Sheriff Grant's dinner takes place this evening. KILKENNY CORPORATION.—The brave and indefatigable Reformers of Klkenny have succeeded at length in wrestling their corporate rights from the bigoted corporation of that city. The following details will be found interesting : On Thursday, pursuant to notice and requisition of the Mayor, a further meeting of freemen was held in the Tholsel or the following purpose :- Ist. To have the city seal placed in such custody as to be at the disposal of the Mayor and citizens, and in case said seal cannot be obtained, to have same cancelled and a new seal adopted for the use of of said Mayor and citizens, in pur suance of the power granted -to them by the charter. 2d. That the Treasurer and Town Clerk be directed to at tend the assembly, in person, to receive directions of the Mayor and ctiz.ms as to the duties of the respective offices, and to act accordingly. 3d. In cese said officers shall refuse or decline attending said assembly and obeying their orders, then to consider the pro priety of removing said Treasurer and Town Clerk, and, if deemed necessary, of removing them from their respective of fices, and to elect other citizens in their places. 4th. To admit freemen and to make the necessary rules for making the Common Council a representative body, and filling up vacancies therein. Twelve o'clock was the hour named in the Mayor's notice, hut he did not make his appearance till twenty minutes to three o'clock. Having taken the chair he said he had to state that as it wuold be necessary to have an adjournment under soy circumstances, of this day's meeting, he wished that they would now adjourn without going into any business, till to morrow, if such a course could be - pursued without in terfereee with the legal mode of proceeding. Mr. Issas, on the part of his fellow-citizens, begged to inform his NVorship that they would proceed to business; but before entering upon it, he wished to make a preliminary arrangement, by moving that Mr. Hart be appointed to act as Secret-my to this meeting, and to take down the proceed ings iu the absence of Mr. W. , ters, the Town Clerk. Mr. H. J Lovenee—l beg to second the resolution. The MAYOR—I want you to state those branches which you think it essential to have gone through to-day. Mr. JAMES—The course that it had been considered pru dent to adopt was to take the most important measure first. By the Charter the Town Clerk was an officer absolutely necessary to be present at, and to record, the meetings of the Mayor and citizens. The Treasurer was not an officer under the Charter, but by the rules of the Corporation he .was also rendered necessary, as anybody having funds to dispose of should have some officer in whose charge to place them, and by whom they should be disbursed. These, therefore, being essential officers, the first thing the citizens felt they should be obliged to do was to secure obedient officers in the two situations. The object and the intention of the citizens in the beginning had been not to remove either of the gen tlemen who now filled these situations, as it might seem in vidious to do so. Even now they felt reluctant to disturb any of the other officers, but the recent proceedings before the Privy Council, and the conduct of both Treasurer and Town Clerk, had removed any scruple that might exist. he MAYOR—OI I , if you show that feeling —but I n ill have more discretion than you, Mr. Loughlan, arid not meet your remark as it might deserve ! 1 I will have no objection to put the following. (The Mayor then read a resolution summoning the Town Clerk to attend the next day, but omit ting the part which warned him that he should be removed from his office in case of non-attendance.) I have stated that the omission of the latter part will not mar your objects should they not attend, or prevent you to-morrow, if it may be necessary, from removing them. I'll agree to put the reso lution calling on them to attend, .without the part that threatens them with removal. Mr. JAMES said he was sure the Mayor and his fellow-citi zens would listen patiently while he explained the reason why the latter pert of the resolution should not be omitted. It was necessary that they should. have obedient officers, and what occurred before the Privy Council showed that the present gentlemen were not inclined to be so._( Hear, hear. ) One of them had there openly disclaimed the authority of the Mayor and citizens, and styled himself the officer of that select body from whom the power had been taken and re vested in the citizens at large. Could we, then, consistently with our own interests, continue such an officer in his situation, if he persevered in refusing to acknowledge the authority of the Mayor and citizens ? ( Hear, hear.) Such a resolution could be no bar to an amicable adjustment, but would rather tend to forward it. Mr. H. J. LOUGIINAN then proposed the following resolu tion —" That it be, and is hereby ordered that Charles Mad don, E 54., Treasurer o f t h e C orporation, do attend as an adjourned assembly of the Mayor and citizens to be held on to-morro w , at the Tholsel, between the hours of two and three o'clock in the afternoon, to receive the directions of said assembly touchin g the business of the office, and that in case the said Charles Madden, Esq., shall refuse or neglect attending, that the expedien c y of removing him, and of ap pointing another Treasurer in his place shall be taken into im mediate consideration, and, if deemed expedient, he shall be removed and another appointed in his stead, and that a copy of . this resolution be served on Mr. Madden by the Secretary." This was giving him full and fair notice of the consequence of disobedience.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. M. SeLLIVAN--SUBpOSe they come, are you satisfied to continue them in office ? Air. JAMES—Certainly, if they undertake in future to act according to the directions they may receive from the Mayor and citizens. If the Treasurer pledge himself to publish his accounts half yearly, and to give no motley for Corporation contests or other purposes, without being so directed by the citizens. To show that we have no personal object, 1 should mention that if they do not attend it is our intention, should the matter be afterwards amicably arranged, that the officers we will elect shall resign in favour of the present officers. Mr. Letioneare—At all events I beg to hand in the resolu tion which I proposed. Mr. P. BYRNE—I beg to second it. Mr. HART—I believe Mr. Byrne is not a freeman. Mr. BYRNE—I am, and a freeholder too. Mr. J. P. RYAN —To prevent mistake, I beg to second it. The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. E. SMITHWICK said he had a similar resolution to pro pose regarding the Town clerk, Mr. M. O'DONNELL having seconded the resolution, it was carried unanimously. Mr. JAMES moved, and Mr. P. SHORTALL seconded, a resolu tion of adjournment to the following day, between the hours of two and three. —Agreed to. The meeting then adjourned. FRIDAY.

The story ap pe rs in the Limerick Standard, in the following form : " FouTtiLli PERSECUTION OF TENANTRY BY LORD CtoN coRRY.-00 Tuesday last Michael Noonan, whom we have before mentioned as one of the tenants whom Lord Cloneurry has cruelly ejected, appeared at the Petty Sessions of Atiing ,s ton, to answer a summons served on him by Lord Clone r 7 . .r.),_ under agent, in his Lordship's name, for having tile,' fo 9!!ie possession of a house on the property of his Lordship.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your Paper of Tuesday, the 2d of October, I was astonished to perceive that alettor was inserted from a man named Throp, reflecting on my character in a very disgraceful manner; and from your well-known impartiality, I am induced to take the liberty to request the insertion of this, Throp contradicts your report of the examination at Bow-street Police-office of the woman Humphries, who had robbed my shop of valuable property. He states that " I was not allowed to put in bail until I had made the charge of felony." This is totally false, as I did not discover that the woman had robbed me until I arrived at home on the Saturday, and the charge was made by me en the following Monday, October 1. He also mentions in his letter that I brought a policeman t o Humphri es ' h ouse, l ocked her up, and had her house searched. To this falsehood I say that I can prove that I was in bed at home at the time when the policeman went to the woman's house to search it. Throp says, in continuing his infamous tissue of calumny, that the prisoner was discharged without being asked a single question. The fact is the woman Hum phries, togeth, r with Throp, who is an assistant to an attorney (and occasionally officiates as principal character at a low and dirty public-house, Judge and Jury Society, in Weston-street , ag ents, had Somers-town), with the assistance of two or three ' fi n ch they hatched up a conspiracy to get me into prison, , bail, effected, and where I remained until I prog u r r e l o wrthe u n few trumpery charge of assaulting my wife t - i cr _i„„l aw , as was hours that I was in confinement my tphrieo%,-eldotihnsevidence, stolencaused f from m m the name of my wife. wtornash° pledged d n o b p y en h , er an in d of bad Throp tto struggle contains s o through m an many Sir, I am a young man h :r to do me considerable injury in y thence house many difficulties, and as t falsehoods, which 1 calc ulate my business, I trust to 3o his. liberality, and candour o to give insertion to t I sin, latter m ha o s s otedient servant, J.
